About This Event
A Collaborative Learning Workshop by Melissa Houser of Santa Fe Conservation Trust and Jan-Willem Jansens of Ecotone Landscape Planning, LLC. During this interactive workshop, participants will learn the tricks of the trade on how to build low-tech, process-based restoration techniques with rock and wood materials. These structures will stabilize the accessible trail and kickstart plant and soil regeneration to reverse land degradation over time. We will address rock and brush dams, brush mattresses, wicker weirs, one rock dams, and media lunas. Participants will receive hands-on instruction on the construction of these simple structures.
We will also be planting trees and shrubs along the accessible trail and will need two crews.
The workshop will be from 9 am to 3 pm. Lunch will be provided.
Sandwich Options – Ham, Turkey, Veggie, or Vegan
Please wear long sleeves, long pants, sturdy work boots, a hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses. Bring a refillable water bottle.
Please bring any planting tools that you may have.
